The reports comes as the government is reviewing personal and social education (PSE), including the provision of guidance and other support for pupils.

SAMH chief executive Billy Watson told the BBC: "We can really make some difference in terms of the training that is available for all schools-based staff for the sake of our young people's mental health."

The Scottish Government launched the review of PSE after Holyrood's Education Committee warned provision was inconsistent and inadequate to support school children with issues such as mental health, sexuality and relationships.
